- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2015Colour Name: Stainless SteelSize Name: 1.2 LitresPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseI bought this kettle recently totally based on the previous reviews here, and I must say that I am very glad that I did. The listing photographs are a very accurate representation and I'm sure most people will agree that the kettle looks good, with lots of smooth curves and a good design. The steel looks to be of a good quality, although there is some natural discolouration on the bottom of the kettle through use. The kettle weighs just over 400 grams when empty, which is pretty light for a kettle in my experience, making it easy to handle and manoeuvre. The lid is easily removed and replaced, with the three holes in it letting steam escape to let you know when the water is boiling. Water boils pretty quickly, certainly comparing well to all of the other kettles that I have owned recently. The spout is long and thin, but seems securely attached to the kettle and is not at all loose. I love the smooth and extremely controlled, accurate way you can pour water from the spout. When you start pouring other kettles, the water can splash a little due to a poorly designed spout, but no such problems here. As you can probably imagine, you can't pour a full kettle of water in three seconds due to the thin nature of the spout.
Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2016Colour Name: Stainless SteelSize Name: 1.2 LitresPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseI did a whopping amount of googling before buying one of these. I was sceptical that I needed one but I wanted to do coffee right. It's not that you need one to make a coffee, because you don't. But when you do make a coffee with this it feels like much more of an occasion, which rightly or wrongly is what I enjoy about making a coffee with a Chemex and this.
Yes the flow is easy to control and you can basically wet any grain of coffee at will, but filling it with boiling water, pouring like you know what you are doing and drying it at the end is all apart of my routine now and I love it. I empty it and shove a towel in and about to dry it each time and I've never seen rust or any issues. I do that whilst the Chemex is dripping out.
It also looks great on the shelf. So stop worrying and if you want the experience go ahead. Good luck!

There are loads of 'knock off' and clones for this kettle and some may work as well as the Hario but its worth paying the small premium to be sure.
Stainless steel throughout, this works well on out induction hob
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2013Colour Name: Stainless SteelSize Name: 1.2 LitresPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseThis is a great addition to my growing coffee related paraphernalia. It looks very sophisticated and it heats up water fairly quickly considering it's a fully metal body. It pours water very smoothly and helps create even extraction when using it as a pour over kettle. I think that the price was reasonable for the product. It's a renowned company that specialises in this kind of thing and it shows.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2016Colour Name: Stainless SteelSize Name: 1.2 LitresPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseI have bought a number of Hario products over the years and all are made with care and quality. This kettle is no exception. I bought the kettle for it's precision spout, to use while making filter coffee. I works perfectly on my induction cooker and brings the water to the boil quickly. The small spout is perfect for a precise pour.
The only drawback to this product is that the actual operational volume of the kettle is 0.8 Litre. If you were to fill it any more, you would risk spillage when boiling. But I believe this would be true to all kettles of this type.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2015Colour Name: Stainless SteelSize Name: 1.2 LitresPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseThis is a beautifully finished product and allows a remarkable pour control for making drip coffee. It is also very comfortable to hold and has an attractive satin finish. The seller Mt Fuji is a most courteous person and he enclosed a personal note, together with an origami bird with my kettle. I cannot recommend this kettle or seller highly enough. To keep this kettle in pristine condition I never use it on the stove top and always dry it immediately after use. It also allows me to make an an excellent tea using the rest of my Hario kit.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2020Colour Name: Stainless SteelSize Name: 1.2 LitresPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseI'd only recommend this kettle if you already have an electric kettle to heat fast or if you like waiting. Otherwise buy the electric version.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2014Colour Name: Stainless SteelSize Name: 1.2 LitresPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseThe latest edition to my ever-expanding coffee equipment collection. The Hario steel drip kettle is quality through and through and a must for pour-over coffee making. I don't regret buying this kettle one bit.
I usually boil a regular electric kettle and then pour the boiling water into this one and the water temperature is then ready to go. This can also be used directly on a gas hob but It's not my preference.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone.

ElcReviewed in the United States on 25 January 20235.0 out of 5 stars High Quality Basic Stovetop Kettle!
Colour Name: Stainless SteelSize Name: 1.2 LitresPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseI am no stranger to Hario products, I have found that almost all of them may be somewhat simplistic, but they are extremely functional. Ive been using this for the last month and I have been loving it.
Some helpful information:
I bought the 1.2L model and it is made in Japan, its stamped right there on the bottom of the kettle.
The steel seems to be high quality, absolutely no rusting, even if it has had water in it 80-90% of the time.
The kettle is induction compatible, works great on my induction stove.
It lists 1.2L as the capacity, do remember that boiling water is quite violent, so really, you can safely boil about 800ml or so, maybe up to about 1l. You can easily store and serve up to about 1.2l in it.
I have exclusively used bottled water in the kettle, as the local water here is ultra hard and is not great for making coffee or tea, and I am unable to install a proper filtration system that is able to reduce the hardness.
I havent had to deep clean the thing since ive been using relatively clean water in it, but I imagine that its not very hard, just bring it to a boil with some citric acid if you have scale issues.
As to using the kettle, it pours beautifully, a nice even stream that doesnt dribble. The handle stays nice and cool, and is comfortable to use. It works great for my coffee-making, be it with my french press, V60, or my Aeropress. I can imagine that its great for making tea as well.
As a bit of helpful advice, if you need to boil about 500g/ml of water, fill it up to a little under the 2nd ridge on the inside, it should be just a little over 500g, giving you some buffer in case if you leave it on boil for a little too long, or if you just want to pour a bit extra.
The only minor gripe I have with it, is that its a little hard to tell when the water is at a rolling boil at times unless you are right next to the kettle. Nothing whistles, there are no thermometers, and its not automatic, so you have to listen for the rumbling of the water within and watch for the steam that comes out from the vent in the lid.
